Pop-up picture
Pop-up picture
An animated picture depicting the key elements of the PECARN CT scan head injury rules will be explained. The picture will "pop-up" when a provider selects the order set for a CT scan due to head injury. Providers will need to select a box stating the patient either "meets criteria" or "does not meet criteria" in order to close the animated picture window.
